Blood Glucose, CGM’s, Meat and Longevity | Drew Harrisberg | The Proof Podcast EP 200

In Episode 200, we step into a new era. introducing The Proof with Simon Hill, where I bring you evidence-based, nuanced information to help you improve your health and longevity. The Proof is a natural evolution of Plant Proof. In case you have concerns, let me clear the air. As you’ll hear me say in this episode: Let me just say on the record, I still eat plants, and only plants. Dropping the "plant" from the title is by no means related to my diet at all; it is simply because I want to expand the show. I’m joined by my good friend Drew Harrisberg on this episode. This is Drew’s seventh appearance on the show, and for good reason. He is an exercise physiologist, sports scientist, and has a graduate certificate in diabetes education and management. He has also learnt how to thrive while living with Type 1 diabetes, and empowers others to do the same. On this episode, we discuss blood glucose, CGMs, meat and longevity, evolving the podcast, and more. Drew will be a regular guest on The Proof, sitting down with me every month or so. Specifically, we cover: 0:00 Intro 1:39 Caffeine & blood glucose 10:29 CGMs for managing diabetes 20:09 Interpreting data from CGMs 41:09 Evolving the Plant Proof Podcast 55:13 A recent shark attack in Australia 1:09:22 Claims that meat extends lifespan 1:29:57 The fructose controversy 1:52:49 Good news 1:59:49 Book & show recommendations 2:10:44 Conclusion And much more.
